ALCATEL-LUCENT 9768

METRO RADIO OUTDOOR

V1.0 B4

The Alcatel-Lucent 9768 Metro Radio Outdoor V1.0 B4 is a next-generation radio based on
Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs groundbreaking lightRadio cube that brings together the latest innovations in antennas, amplifiers and transceivers to minimize size and improve radio frequency (RF)
performance. Operating in 3GPP Band 4 Blocks A through F (Advanced Wireless Services (AWS)
frequency bands), the 9768 MRO uses directional antennas to cost effectively extend 5-bar coverage and capacity to both indoor and outdoor locations. The Alcatel-Lucent 9768 MRO is small
enough to be mounted on a wall, the side of a building or pole, yet powerful enough to cover
places where a large number of subscribers congregate, such as stadiums, large enterprises,
and shopping malls.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9768 MRO has two


transmit antennas with 1 W conducted
power (5 W effective isotropic radiated
power (EIRP) at each antenna and two
receive antennas for two-way receive
(Rx) diversity. The radio is ideally suited
to support dense metro hotspots, with
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) 2x2
operation in up to 20 MHz of bandwidth.

Based on the distributed eNodeB


architecture, the Alcatel-Lucent 9768
MRO integrates two lightRadio cubes and
a full sector Remote Radio Head (RRH)
into a single compact unit that connects
to an external baseband unit (BBU). The
BBU, conventional or clustered, may be
located at the same site as the MRO or at
a separate location. The MRO connects to
the BBU through an optical fiber, using
Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) and
supports CPRI daisy chaining, enabling
multiple MROs to connect to the BBU over
the same optical cable. This architecture
maximizes deployment flexibility while
optimizing the use of the BBU digital
assets and connectivity costs.

Features
Small, lightweight unit that is mountable
on a wall, the side of a building or pole

and sector
2 path Rx diversity and 2x2 MIMO enabled
by cross-polarization
Works with conventional or clustered BBUs
Compatible with the Alcatel-Lucent 9926
Digital 2U NodeB (d2U)
CPRI daisy chaining
